Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Seahawks.

Some picks age like wine; Barrett Carter at the 50th pick will need to, sitting 30 spots clear of his grade. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
A reach for Grey Zabel in the 18th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick50 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
They left a pile of value on the table to take Barrett Carter this early at slot 50. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
